women are not easy

Chapter 177
A timely rain relieved the sweltering weather in Singapore.In the garden of Eliza Hospital, the linden flowers are surrounded by gusts of rain.

When the wind blows, water droplets roll down from the petals of the bodhi flower, and a few frightened pigeons fly past with a "coo coo".

In the corridor of the hospital after the rain, with the central air conditioner at 21 degrees all year round, it seems a little cold for no reason.In the long corridor, no one can be seen at this time, it is empty, and there is a cloud of water vapor that seems to exist outside the window.

The pale yellow light reflected by the wall lamp fell on Man Qing's face, which was extraordinarily solemn.Man Qing was wearing a thin air-conditioned shirt, her hair was loose, and her temples looked a little messy.

She looked at the old "Straits Times" newspaper, and there was a photo of Gu Hongkai, Wang Jie, and Sun Hu going public on Hong Kong Island last year.Man Qing saw it in his eyes, but felt an indescribable emotion in his heart.

In Singapore, there is a patient from China who spontaneously formed a QQ group for neuroblastoma.Most of them are parents of children with illnesses, each struggling to support their children's long journey of treatment.

News of the child's death or recovery is often reported in the group. This is a corner that people don't pay attention to, where they keep each other warm and encourage each other.The disappearance and rebirth of life are endowed with completely different meanings here.

After Katsuo was admitted to the Eliza Hospital, he was diagnosed with stage IV neuroblastoma, with metastases to the bone marrow and breast.

After chemotherapy and surgery, Katsuo's illness has been repeated for a long time. Although the bone marrow has not metastasized for the time being, the situation is not optimistic.

Man Qing stood motionless with his back against the wall.With trembling fingers, she twisted several times before opening the lid of the vacuum flask.The boiled water, which had already cooled down, soaked Manqing's entire skirt inadvertently.

The lining was sticking wetly to Manqing's leg, and the lingering discomfort was just like Manqing's current mood.When she first came to Singapore, she swallowed tears in the deserted corridor almost every night.

She couldn't count how many times Katsuo wandered outside the gate of hell.All she knew was that she wanted Katsuo to live well despite everything.

But a more realistic problem also came to Manqing. Just this afternoon, Katsunan's attending doctor approached her and urged her to pay the last period's treatment fee.

The treatment of neuroblastoma is expensive, and it is far from enough for ordinary people to sell their houses for treatment.Even Manqing, who was financially better off, had a hard time getting here.

After the two sessions of treatment, the rent and living expenses will be added, and the original savings alone will always make ends meet.

Long before rushing to Singapore, Man Qing had already entrusted a lawyer to return the shares under his name to Gu Hongkai in the name of carte blanche.At the stage of the company's development and upgrading, she couldn't withdraw the funds without authorization, so she left alone.

Whether it is Hongyun's R&D laboratory or the overall upgrade of the production line, money is needed everywhere.After listing, the loss of shares is also a potential threat to the operation of the company.Looking at the rising fortune with one hand, Manqing really can't make everyone's hard work go to waste.

After thinking for a while, Man Qing made a decision that made him feel innocent and innocent.

But the reality is that with her savings almost exhausted, she has almost no escape options.

Man Qing tiptoed into the ward and turned on the wall lamp by the bed.She stretched out her hand, and carefully tucked the corner of the quilt for Shengnan.Looking at Katsuo's haggard and pale face, Man Qing's hand suddenly stopped.

If the next treatment cannot be guaranteed, no one knows what will happen to Katsuo.In the previous treatment, the doctor in charge had submitted a special report for them to be approved, and won a more favorable treatment price.

However, the overall huge amount of money still made Man Qing a little breathless. She thought about fighting for a better life for so many years, but in the end, even the cost of the child's treatment became a problem.

The sadness and helplessness in Manqing's heart were all entangled with the love and distress for the child.This completely inhumane state of mind can only be endured silently by herself.

Fortunately, Man Qing is not a person who resigns herself to her fate. Even though it was difficult, she still chose to grit her teeth and persevere.He works in a factory during the day, and works part-time at a convenience store at night. In between, he also takes time to go to the hospital to deliver meals to Katsuo and take care of her condition.

For Manqing, 24 hours a day is simply not enough.She longed for a few more hands and feet, and tried her last bit of strength to fight for that sliver of life for Sheng Nan.

Many times, even when she was exhausted to the point of having a fever and shivering, Man Qing didn't cry out that she was tired, but just managed to hold on together.

Katsuo is her lifeblood, and only when Katsuo survives can she continue to live.

In the Wu family, Rufen mysteriously pulled Hongmei into her room, moved a stool and asked Hongmei to make it.She went to the bamboo basket and reached out to touch it, but she couldn't find what she was looking for for a long time.

She was taken aback for a moment, then yelled that it was not good, and she slumped down on the bed.

Seeing this, Hongmei hurriedly asked, "Mom, what's wrong?"

Rufen took a breath, and asked tremblingly: "Hongmei, have you seen the gold necklace that Dahai brought back from Singapore? It was the one he gave to Manqing earlier."

Hearing this, Hongmei shook her head in surprise, "Isn't this in the hands of the second sister? How could I see it."

Rufen glanced at Hongmei with a complicated expression, then slid off the bed softly, kept patting her thigh and said: "This evil son! This evil son! He must have done it!"

Hongmei went forward to help Rufen, but Rufen was pale, she took out the key from under the pillow, and tremblingly walked to the wardrobe.When the drawer was opened, she froze for an instant, and her whole body went numb.

Gold rings, real estate certificates, all the valuable things that can be imagined, have long since disappeared...

Rufen turned her head, her eyes were half terrified, half dazed at Hongmei, she couldn't tell whether she was laughing or crying.

Seeing that her mother was behaving strangely, Hongmei hurriedly shook her arm and asked, "Mom, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"

Rufen opened her mouth, but before she could say a word, she didn't bring it up in one breath, and she collapsed into Hongmei's arms all at once.

Hongmei became anxious, and pinched Renzhong several times in a row, and then the eyeballs under Rufen's eyelids started to slip away again.When Dahai rushed home, Rufen locked the door tightly, neither eating nor drinking, and she didn't show her face in a daze.

If Rufen had fantasies about her eldest son Wu Jianjun before, then at this moment, this home that has been emptied by Wu Jianjun is no different from a coffin board to her.
